The challenge was to use this sketch:
I'm afraid the sideways title wasn't really working for me. But I did journal over that side.. I have loved this photo for ages..So I was really happy to scrap it at last. The journalling talks about how worried I was that I might have made my other kids lives harder by adding a fifth.. But my worries were for naught..The girls have blossomed and grown with their little brother.. I really wanted to use The October Afternoon 5 and Dime stickers..So there are quite a few on there! I LOVE the gumball machine..So CUTE!
Inspiration challenge:
I would like to say that I endeavoured to capture the colour scheme on my first attempt at this challenge. But I really struggle to keep it to a two or three colour palette.. So I opted for using the poster as design principle. I have the title travelling across (ish) the photo and I have incorporated the big 2 as well. Does it work? I dunno know! It was how I was inspired anyway... I should have scrapped a photo of myself. I have been told on numerous occasions that I look like SJP!!
I quite liked this sketch. It is similar to a layout I have done previously. This layout came together quite easily. I have included the name and a fact about each of the girls as requested too..
I love circle photos within a circle. Once upon a time that would have been criminal and tantamount to Creative Memories style - shock horror! Used up the last of my giant Sassafras flowers.. And yes - it's a photo of my bigger girls! Yay! More to come..I have photographed them just this last week... School holiday bonus..
The challenge was to use tape and the word play.. Tick and tick! I have rubbed paint with my finger over the masking tape.. Love the photo - love the layout! Bit of OA Rocket Age range in here...
More layouts to come....Bye!
